Reincarnated To Evolve My Bee Empire-Chapter 201: Meanwhile, Nectus

At one moment I was excitedly talking about the next steps in our diplomatic relations with humans, and the next I was floating in an all too-familiar void of the afterlife.

And in front of me, close enough to cover my entire field of view, was an overgrown bee—the Goddess of Bees.

The shock rendered me speechless. I wondered if all these months of life among bees were a dream.

"We have little time, so listen carefully, mortal," the Goddess of Bees spoke. Her chilling tone left no place for arguments. "When asked questions, you will deny everything, especially my involvement. Do that—and maybe things will go painlessly for you. But go against me—and your loved ones will pay for it. After all, they all are bees. I can do with them, as I want."

My eyes widened, and I realized that I still had eyes and my body.

"What's going on?! What are you talking about, b—bee?!"

Phew, that was close.

Instead of an answer, I felt a wave of seething hatred pour over me.

"Remember my words, mortal!"

She waved her antennae and, as fast as I appeared in this place, I was thrown into another.

Now, I was somewhere full of colors, sights, and noises.

This was too much at once!

The whiplash made me stumble on my feet—oh, I was standing on something.

I focused all my attention on the floor. It was exquisite—a beautiful onyx and jewel mosaic that depicted some starry nebula. It had to be unbelievably expensive to make.

The floor stretched and stretched, and I slowly raised my eyes to the sights around.

I was standing in the middle of a giant amphitheater. The biggest stadiums of Earth had nothing on this place—although the stage itself was only twenty meters in radius, the spectators' seats were spanning as far as the eye could see.

Literally. I couldn't see the end of them. Just more seats, each of which was taken by a… creature.

Some of them looked like animals, some like animal hybrids, and some were just vague shapes or too far for me to see. There wasn't any majestic divine aura about them, and they weren't the size of a mountain, but I realized what they had to be.

Gods!

As many gods as there are animals in the world!

"The evidence of the trial case against the Goddess of Bees has arrived," someone said.

I stopped gawking at the tribunes and snapped my head toward the only other people on the starry stage itself.

A dozen meters away from me stood three tribunes from black stone.

One was empty; the Goddess of Bees, now human-sized, stood behind the other; the third, central tribune had three strange gods (?) near it, one of which just spoke.

These gods looked like three simple robes without a hint of faces underneath them. Their only difference was the color of the robes: red, green and blue.

The sight of the RGB gods shook me out of my trance.

"What evidence?! Put me back where you got me! As if all the other bullshit—"

"Silence, mortal! Speak only when asked when in court!" Goddess of Bees snapped, glaring at me.

I froze, remembering her earlier threats, and shut up.

'Fuck. Whatever deep shit I'm in *now*, I can't anger these people! If only I understood what the hell was going on in the first place!'

Until now, I could only suspect the existence of other gods. And other things—a trial? Against the Goddess of Bees? For what?

…Was the entire isekai she did to me a crime somehow?

Although the idea of her being punished put a giddy smile over my face, it vanished as quickly as it appeared. After all, I could be easily punished as well for things I wasn't guilty of!

Not to mention, what was going on with the Bee Empire?

'My girls!' I gasped inwardly. 'They must be in total panic right now. This… shit, this is just like Undecided predicted! But then—she also predicted that there will be war with humans!'

Now I *really* had to go back as soon as possible! Instead, I could only stand here, clenching and unclenching my fists in frustration.

"Now the Rulekeepers invite the prosecutor of this case, and the offended side—the God of Humanity. Please, take your place." The Green Robe God gestured at the empty tribune.

I blinked, and it wasn't empty anymore. The god just appeared there instead of walking down the tribunes.

God of Humanity was the only person here who looked like a human—and not a bug-faced one. But I never saw humans like him.

He was tall, broad-shouldered, blond and blue eyed with glass-sharp cheekbones and a square jaw. His white with gold brim toga—he wore a *toga*!—barely hid his perfectly hairless chest and the physique of a Greek statue. The aura of smugness he radiated was palpable.

He looked ready to be put on a meme image.

"Welcome, God of Humanity. Will you list the offenses of the Goddess of Bees against you?"

"Gladly, esteemed Rulekeepers. Although you know that I always argued for an alliance with the Goddess of Bees, she kept stinging the hand offered to her. Even now!"

God of Humanity dramatically pointed his hand at the Goddess of Bees

"First, she caused an undue death of a human on Earth-Alpha-0004—a minor offense per rule 194.29.1a, which I thought we resolved among us. Then she stole the mind of said human and put him into the body of a bee on Earth-Omega-0048—which breaks rule 408.01.13. And finally, she did the gravest offense…"

There was an excited murmur among the countless spectators.

"Breaking the rule 200, she gave this human an evolution-quickening system. A *system*, my divine siblings!"

"Lies! Dirty lies of a dirty liar!" the Goddess of Bees hissed. "I refuse all accusations. The successes of bees in Earth-Omega-0048 were the result of lucky coincidences and my work *within* rules. All rewards gained there were honestly deserved!"

"Silence in the court," Blue Rulekeeper said. "The accused denies all guilt—it was noted. The Rulekeepers shall question the evidence now."

The evidence? Wait, that was *me*!
